Bisphenol A limit

My supplier approval program requires many of my suppliers to provide me with a BPA statement or proof of testing.  I've also done testing on my product, but what are the limits for BPA?

Hi Jcoomes ,

It may also changed according to the packaging is it preform , can ,.. .. is it a for a baby food , bottled water .... .

AFAIR the limit in preform and bottled drinking water were 2 ug/L

As per food safety watch :

"There are no restrictions, at present, on the amount of BPA that can be present in most final plastic products, but the tendency of BPA to migrate from food contact materials has been acknowledged in European Union food law. In 2002, EU legislation was introduced setting a Specific Migration Limit (SML) of 3 mg BPA per kg food. This was amended in 2004 to set a SML(T) of 0.6 mg BPA per kg food. The migration limit in Japan allows a maximum of 2.5 ppm. There is no SML in the USA at present."
